J2EE application server benchmark..

Thread view:

Kapil.Gambhir@gmail.com - 12 Sep 2005 14:03 GMT

Anybody aware of some standard J2EE application which can be used for
benchmarking application servers. I was currently evaluating the J2EE
application server specifically for the clustering features. I saw
SPECjAppServer2004 but understand it to be commercial application
(although the objective is the same).

Also, in addition to a sample application (prodiving the application
and workload modeling flexibility) any recommended tools to monitor and
debug any failure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Kapil.

If you find one, that is like a standard benchmark to help you pick a
wife.

You really want to try your real code or a close simulation of it.

Here's one from BEA. You can expect it BEA to do well on it.

Benchmarks are a bit of a con game. If you are clever, your can make
anybody win. They are more a battle of wits of the people running and
composing the benchmark than the code it supposedly measures.

Roedy,
The URL that is referred in your response is pointing to the same
SPEC benchmark which i was referring to in my write-up and
unfortunately is not freely available. I was wondering whether there is
any open source or free to download application used for benchmarking.
I agree that it is challenging to take away the subjectivity around
the benchmark result as it is mostly driven by the comfort and personal
experiences but still they are alot better than not having any.

Cheers,
Kapil.
